Send a virtual hug
#SendAHug to loved ones
We all want to give our loved ones a hug, but right now, sadly, we can’t. So why not show family and friends that you care and send a virtual hug instead!
Every week in the UK, around two children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer that usually affects children under the age of five. #SendAHug to your loved ones by decorating your own ‘hug’ and show your support for children with neuroblastoma and their families.
We’ll choose an image every week to use on our social media profiles, share on our website and on our social media channels. So join in, stay home and have fun!
Because neuroblastoma doesn’t stop for coronavirus, and neither will we.
How to join in
Download and print your ‘hug’ template
To get started, download and print your ‘hug’ template (you may recognise it from our logo!)
Cut out your template (you may need a grown up to help you)
Use your imagination and decorate your hugs. You could dress them in our running vests, in your favourite colours or turn them into a nurse, doctor or even your favourite superhero!

Did you know?
These colourful paper dolls were part of a Guinness World Records attempt!
To celebrate the launch of Julia Donaldson's book called The Paper Dolls, the team made a Guinness World Records attempt for the longest chain of paper dolls.
Children around the world decorated paper dolls and made a chain over 4.5km - that’s the length of 40 football pitches or 80,000 jelly babies laid end-to-end!
